How consumed with hate is Cliff Kincaid?

It wasn't enough for him to write in a Sept. 17 "AIM Report" that "In their canonization of thet late Senator (Ted) Kennedy, our media failed to note that he left a young woman, Mary Jo Kopechne, to die in the bottom of a submerged car." That's a lie -- we defy Kincaid to point out an example of an encompassing mainstream media obituary of Kennedy that didn't mention it.

But Kincaid wasn't done. He went on to write: "A notorious womanizer, he had left a party, probably a drunken orgy, with this poor girl and his car went off a bridge."
Why is Kincaid making such an offensive claim about Kennedy that he cannot possibly prove? Why is he driven to tell the most outrageous lies about Kennedy?

We've asked Kincaid to substantiate both of these claims.

This is almost kind of funny considering that this is coming from an organization that almost 30 years after it did so, has failed to issue an apology to the survivors of the El Mozote massacre or to the reporters that it smeared after they accurately reported on what happened in that village.
